Eating shabu mutton on a snowy day is originally a very beautiful thing.

As a result, let Dong Zhongshu disturb him so much, why did Yang Chuan feel ...... More comfortable?

Seeing the old thief with a depressed face, kneeling alone on a futon not far away, eating a bowl of white water with an ugly face, and there was not even a plate of small pickles on the table, Yang Chuan couldn't help but want to laugh.

Since you don't like to sit down and eat a good meal of mutton shabu, then eat white water.

This is his Yang Chuan family, and it is not your Dong Zhongshu's school, even if you have all kinds of reasons, then you have to respect the preferences of him, the head of the family, and don't teach people at every turn.

Others are afraid of being exposed by Dong Zhongshu, but Yang Chuan is not afraid, anyway, his character is a farmer and a cook who has never read any books, it's a big deal that the two of them tear each other apart, who is afraid of whom?

In terms of thick skin, Yang Chuan really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

Originally, Yang Chuan wanted to drive Dong Zhongshu away, so as not to look upset, but as a result, this old thief didn't go out with a dead face, saying that he finally came over, and went back hungry with a dull face.

Well, then let him go......

……

For three or four days in a row, Yang Chuan's family was eating mutton shabu, not only himself, but also the subordinates and servants were eating mutton.

The most outrageous thing is that the dozens of chefs, after eating two meals of shabu mutton, did not need Yang Chuan's guidance, and actually 'discovered' more than a dozen new ways to eat shabu and shabu-shabu;

Fresh fragrant pot, spicy pot, fresh and spicy pot, nourishing pot, mandarin duck pot, big bone soup pot, sauerkraut pot, fish head pot, zero and total total, everything is quite like that.

It's a pity that the current ingredients and seasonings are limited, otherwise, like what spicy shrimp dry pot, fish-flavored potato dry pot... It will definitely be discovered quickly,

This made Yang Chuan feel a little incredible.

It seems that women are the most talented and imaginative when it comes to eating hot pot, and they should become the mainstream gourmets of the Han Empire.

As for Dong Zhongshu.

Well, this old thief is quite backbone, he comes to eat on time every day, even if it is white water, gruel, wheat rice or something, he doesn't dislike it very much, he kneels silently to finish eating, and goes back refreshed, and really treats Yang Chuan's house as a canteen.

In Dong Zhongshu, Yang Chuan saw the stubbornness and persistence of a scholar.

I have to admit that this is a good quality, and it is actually quite rare in the current Han Empire, but the problem is that if his stubbornness and persistence are not good, or even wrong, it will be terrible.

Therefore, he did not sympathize with Dong Zhongshu at all.

In this world, there are many such people, some people like to eat lying down, some people like to eat on their knees, and those Qi refiners and alchemists of the Dao Sect also like to meditate and eat cross-legged.

In Yang Chuan's view, everyone can eat a mouthful of hot rice, which is the real big thing.

As for the posture of eating, there is really no need to be too demanding.

In the Yang fiefdom, let everyone use the tables, chairs and benches, this is the most important thing.

In order to prevent some people from objecting, like Dong Zhongshu, he suddenly attacked, and blocked his 'table reform' under the pretext that he did not follow the etiquette teachings, Yang Chuan specially asked Zhang Anshi to formulate a set of 'Yang's table cultural etiquette'.

Zhang Anshi is a good kid, well-read, unforgettable, and has no good impression of Confucianism, but he is very familiar with the subtleties of those Confucian classics and sages, and he comes as soon as he opens his mouth.

In his own words, the reason why he memorized those Confucian classics was to scold people, which was simply a cowardice.

After some quotations and logical reasoning, Zhang Anshi quickly sorted out the three major etiquettes and eight rules on the "Yang's Dinner Table".

After Yang Chuan looked at it, he thought it was quite interesting, so he casually named it 'Yang's Food Culture'.

The three major etiquettes are nothing more than washing hands before meals, rinsing mouths after meals, respecting the elderly and loving the young;

The eight rules are more detailed, and they are probably the combination of some of Confucius's 'food culture' and some of Yang Chuan's 'food culture', and summarize and summarize the eight rules——

If you don't eat well, don't eat; If the water is not boiled, it is not drunk; Food spoiled, not eaten; Vegetables and vegetables that are left overnight, do not eat; No seasoning, no eating; Don't eat food from unknown sources; Ugly-looking food, don't eat ......

Well, that's pretty much it.

Some people live to eat, some people live to eat, life is varied, each takes what he needs, Yang Chuan can't manage so many, it's just to make the food of the Han Empire cleaner, pay attention to it, don't eat a sals or something at every turn, and make him a cook.

Regarding the 'three etiquettes and eight rules' of Yang's food culture, Dong Zhongshu wanted to speak several times, but he still didn't dare to provoke after all.

During the time when Yang Chuan's house was eating, the old thief had actually been secretly observing, thinking, and thinking, as if he wanted to find Yang Chuan's 'little handle'.

As a result, the more I watched it, the more angry I became, and I didn't dare to have a seizure on the spot, so I was very stuffy in half of my stomach......

……

In this way, after another seven or eight days, another heavy snow fell in the Guanzhong area.

This snowfall is good!

I can only see the vastness of heaven and earth, and the mountains and rivers are majestic; After yesterday's north wind and snow, it was a night of silence, early in the morning, the goose feather snow had stopped at some point, and a round of red sun rose three poles high, blooming with endless light, gorgeous, quiet and dignified.

The former yellow mud official road is almost impossible to find.

The only sign is that when the road was built, the two rows of willow trees planted next to the road were crooked, but now they have become the only 'road sign', so as not to let pedestrians get lost.

On the road from Chang'an City to the Yang fiefdom, a group of people walked in a circle, and the team stretched endlessly, almost three or five miles.

The armor of the two hundred cavalry was bright, and above the helmet, a fiery red silk tassel shone in the sunlight, blinding the birds flying in the sky.

In addition, there are two or three hundred people, which is more complicated.

There was an embroidered messenger riding on horseback without saying a word, his eyes were like eagles and falcons, although he did not look left and right, but he should have seen six ways and heard in all directions; There were eunuchs, eunuchs, and palace people in black dresses, who also maintained the silence they deserved;

The car drove seventeen or eighteen, the leader, mediocre, the only awe-inspiring person is the canopy on it.

Don't look closely.

The people in the Guanzhong area can almost see at a glance that this is the frame honor guard of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that what the people don't know is that today, there is really no big deal.

It's just that Princess Nangong, who only returned to Han half a year ago, has lived in the palace for a long time, and feels unhappy, so she asked her younger brother Liu Che to send her out of the palace and go out of the city with her sister Princess Pingyang to relax.

As they walked, the two Han princesses had a good heart, so they came to the Yang fiefdom......

"Mother wants to come to Zhuangzi?"

"The second aunt is here too?"

Yang Chuan, who was teaching Liu Man, Naren Tuoya, and Zhang Anshi, listened to the advice of his cousin's father, and was a little confused for a while: "This is cold and snowy, the road is very slippery, what are they running around?" ”

These two old ladies are too worry-free!

Tangyi's father said: "According to the time calculation, the two princesses should have left the city before dawn, and now they are seven or eight miles away. ”

Yang Chuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, these two old ladies, isn't this adding to the chaos.

But fortunately, Zhuangzi recently bought more than 1,000 fat sheep, plus Cao Xiang's chickens, ducks, geese, poultry eggs and vegetables in his own freezer, which can almost be handled.

The emperor's 200,000 mu of tuntian has a very good harvest this year, and the yield is more than double that of other households.

The problem is that he secretly distributed about fifty percent of them to the military households in the tuntian in the form of 'year-end bonuses', and all the remaining grain, grass, vegetables and vegetables were made into account books, and nominally, they had been handed over to the emperor.

Poor, these days...... It's going to have to be better.

"Uncle Tangyi, prepare the horse," Yang Chuan put down the ring ruler in his hand, "Let's go over and greet it, don't let my mother get angry and break my leg again." ”

"Send a message to Huo Quai, and ask him to mobilize a hundred field battalions to come over to escort him."

"By the way, Liu Man, Naren Tuoya, Zhang Anshi, you go with me to meet my mother and second aunt."

Tangyi's father strode out, asked a few mares with a docile personality, and tied a secret letter written by Yang Chuan to the second leg of the eagle, and sent a message to Huo Quai.

Half an hour later, Yang Chuan and the others met Princess Pingyang and Princess Nangong.

What was a little surprising was that Cao Xiang's guy was also hiding in the carriage, humming and chirping and still pretending to be sick, which made the corners of Yang Chuan's mouth twitch for a while.

Liu Che beat Cao Xiang dozens of whips, and after the news spread, Princess Pingyang didn't say a word, but Princess Nangong didn't give up, found Weiyang Palace, and taught Liu Che a hard lesson.

Well, I heard that Liu Che's injuries were not very serious, but he was pinched twenty or thirty times by the second sister on his face, neck, inner thighs, and under his ribs...... Nothing more.

"Mother, second aunt, why are you two here in this cold and snowy world," Yang Chuan turned over and dismounted, knelt down and kowtowed in a proper manner, and then quickly stepped forward to say hello.

"Today's heavy snow is clear, the scenery is good, the air is good, my second aunt and I came out to relax, and somehow, I ran to your Zhuangzi." Princess Pingyang looked at Yang Chuan with a smile and said.

"What a good scenery and good air, big sister, you have too much nonsense!"

Princess Nangong is blind, but after half a year of recuperation, her body and bones are much better, and her face is also bloody, but the heroic spirit of the old Liu family woman has also begun to be revealed.

"Yang Chuan, the second aunt heard that your military exploits and the merits of farming and mulberry crops add up, and you would have been able to seal the customs and marquis a long time ago, but Liu Che refused to seal the reward, and the second aunt entered the palace yesterday and had already pinched it...... Ahem, the emperor has already been advised. ”

"The emperor is becoming more and more disobedient now, merit is not rewarded, and punishment is not punished, it is clearly the way of the faint king."

"If it's just like this, he actually killed Cao Xiang and whipped Cao Xiang seventy or eighty times, he is simply a tyrant!"

"Yang Chuan, my son, come here, let the second aunt see, the emperor didn't beat you, right?"

Princess Nangong stretched out her hands and touched them tremblingly in front of her eyes.

Yang Chuan hurriedly jumped into the car, put his handsome little face up, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, don't worry, even if the emperor uses a whip to teach us juniors, he will be angry and will not kill him." ”

Princess Nangong stroked Yang Chuan's head, face, and arms, and suddenly began to burst into tears, and said angrily: "This palace will leave the words here today, in the future, if Liu Che dares to beat a few of you again, this palace will fight with him!" ”

Yang Chuan was inexplicably sad, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, second aunt, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" ”

Princess Pingyang sighed and scolded with a smile: "Your second aunt came to see you in the middle of the night, if it weren't for the curfew in Chang'an City, I'm afraid that the sky would be bright, and we would have gone to your Zhuangzi."

Let's go, let's go home and eat first. ”

Yang Chuan smiled: "Okay, go home for dinner!" ”

The group entered Yang Chuan's house in a mighty way, and for a while, the servants were busy, killing pigs and sheep, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, and dozens of cooks were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

Talking and laughing, it will soon be time for lunch.

Dong Zhongshu entered the door on time, greeted the two princesses, and then knelt down in front of his nearest exclusive table, waiting for the meal with an indifferent expression.

This old thief was very arrogant, and seemed to have never taken the two princesses seriously, which made Yang Chuan amused for a while; The scholars of the Han Empire were stubborn in this way, but they could still maintain basic dignity and decency in front of the powerful.

It is this point that can shame the vast majority of scholars in later generations.

Therefore, Yang Chuan was quite polite to Dong Zhongshu, and in recent days, he had instructed the kitchen to add four plates of small pickles, small pickles and wild vegetable dumplings to the old thief's desk to show his respect for the scholar......

However, the two Han princesses didn't have a good face, they felt it a little, and after listening to Yang Chuan's whispers, the two sisters knew it.

This field is a bit chaotic.

Princess Pingyang inadvertently gave Yang Chuan a look, which was almost like: "Boy, look at it, look at the methods of the old lady and your second aunt!" ’

This made Yang Chuan a little worried about Dong Zhongshu's old thief.

The women of the old Liu family are not vegetarians......

Sitting on the large circle chair near the window, Princess Pingyang and Princess Nangong sighed for a while: "Yang Chuan, this couch in your house is very comfortable." ”

"Go back and make a set for this palace and your second aunt and send it over."

"That's right, if anyone dares to point fingers, Bengong will kill him!"

Seeing that the two Han princesses supported themselves unprincipledly, Yang Chuan couldn't help but laugh a little, and said with a smile: "Mother, second aunt, this kind of couch, well, I will make dozens of more sets for our family when I go back, so that the big guy doesn't have to kneel on the ground to eat." ”

Princess Pingyang: "The martial arts of the Han Dynasty, the first in the world, a dignified man, kneeling to the sky and the ground, worshiping the ancestors, respecting the monarch's father, serving the high hall, this is a matter of course, what kind of etiquette is this kneeling to eat?" ”

Princess Nangong: "Eldest sister, you talk a lot of nonsense!" ”

Princess Pingyang was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by my sister?" ”

Princess Nangong: "Whoever points fingers at Yang Chuan again, this palace will kill him!" ”

Princess Pingyang: "Yes! ”

Princess Nangong: "Yang Chuan, my son, don't worry, even if Liu Yu comes, this palace still says this, if he dares to point fingers at you again, pick and search, the second aunt will...

Well, the second aunt won't live! ”
